SFP’s – SFP’s (Small Form-factor Pluggable) are small transceivers that plug into the SFP port of a network switch, to allow fiber connectivity between the fiber optic cable and other electronic devices. SFP’s come with multitudes of varying specifications to accommodate the largest amount of networks, with distance ranges up to 100Km, LC and SC connectors, Omni and bi-directional operation plus many more features. Learn more about Yamasaki’s range of SFP’s.

Media Converters – Singlemode Media Converters are often used in pairs to convert a copper transmission to fiber optic transmission and back again, with some media converters being able to operate bi-directionally and use multimode functionality. Yamasaki offers a large range of Media Converters to suit your needs. Learn more in our networking range!

OTDR – The Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) is useful for testing the integrity of fiber optic cables. It can verify splice loss, measure length and find faults. The OTDR is also commonly used to create a “picture” of fiber optic cable when it is newly installed. Later, comparisons can be made between the original trace and a second trace taken if problems arise. Yamasaki offers a range of OTDR’s including single and multimode OTDR’s. Learn more about the Y24 OTDR .

Optical Fiber Inspection and Testing – Many of the problems relating to Fiber Optic Networks are caused by poor connectorisation. Since the light used in systems is invisible infrared light (IR) beyond the range of the human eye, one cannot see the system transmitter light. By injecting the light from a visible source, such as a LED, laser or incandescent bulb, one can visually trace the fiber from transmitter to receiver to ensure correct orientation and cable integrity.
